How does death FEEL? We can know, because the Bible tells us. It feels like NOTHING; the dead remain unconscious (“sleep”), in their graves, until the Resurrection (Dan 12:2, cf. Pss 13:3, Acts 13:36, 1 Corin 15:6, 20), they do not speak (Pss 115:17, cf. Pss 31:17), they do not sing praises (Pss 6:5, 30:9, cf. Isa 38:18-19), they lose all cognitive function (Pss 146:3-4, Ecc 9:10), they do not know what is going on, anywhere (Job 14:20-21, Ecc 9:5-6). It is Christ’s voice that would wake all deceased men again, AT the Resurrection (see Jn 5:28-29, 1 Thess 4:13-18, cf. Acts 24:15, 1 Corin 15:51-54). Until then, they ALL (both saved and unsaved) rest in their graves.
